Premiere Cancels ‘Jeff Foxworthy Countdown’

Just six months after celebrating the show’s 10th anniversary, Premiere Radio Networks has quietly cancelled “The Jeff Foxworthy Countdown,” effective Dec. 26. The four-hour weekly show, hosted by comedian Foxworthy, debuted in 1999 and was heard on nearly 300 affiliates, according to Premiere’s Web site, where the show is still listed. The program counted down the top 30 country hits, interspersed with artist interviews. The show airs in such markets as Dallas, Phoenix, Minneapolis and Washington, D.C. In its place, Premiere is offering affiliates “The Crook & Chase Countdown” in markets where it’s available. Radio-Info.com readers were the first to pick up on the show’s cancellation.
